This season, Teresa looks to repair fractured relationships with her family and friends. Although her release from prison brings the Giudice family back together, the reunion is short-lived as they only have a few months before Joe begins his sentence. After growing closer to the Gorga family while Teresa was away, Melissa now fears it may all crumble and hopes she can start fresh with her sister-in-law, permanently putting the past behind them. Meanwhile, Jacqueline, whose main focus continues to be helping her autistic son, longs for the “Lucy and Ethel” friendship she had with Teresa and is willing to bury their history if it means a more lighthearted future. Teresa and Jacqueline’s longtime friend, Dolores, is a divorced mom of two, focusing on a road toward independence as she emotionally and financially recovers from two failed relationships. Siggy, another friend of Jacqueline’s, fits right in with the Jersey group with her dynamic personality and high energy, as she navigates her relationships with her children who find her overbearing at times. But just as these five ‘wives begin to form strong bonds, relationships are on the verge of breaking – and when old friends meet new friends, it may mean no friends for some.
“The Real Housewives of New Jersey” is produced by Sirens Media, LLC, A Leftfield Company, for Bravo. Rebecca Toth Diefenbach, Valerie Haselton, Lucilla D'Agostino, Caroline Self, Omid Kahangi and Tess Gamboa Meyers are executive producers. Andy Cohen also serves as an Executive Producer.
Meet the housewives:
Dolores Catania
Dolores Catania redefines what it means to be a Housewife. The Paterson-born Jersey native is the quintessential modern day Renaissance woman. This corrections officer-turned-surgical technician-turned realtor and owner of multiple fitness centers is not only a mother of two, but also an active executive member of several charities, a pastime fueled by her devout faith. Though divorced for 15 years, she and her ex-husband and business partner, Frank, maintain a close friendship. Their two kids, Gabrielle (20) and Frankie (17), keep Dolores on her toes by making sure there is never an empty house. Whether it's the multitude of kids or array of stray animals they bring home, the Catania household is never dull, and Dolores is mom to all. Known lovingly as the "real deal" by her friends, Dolores is not one to sugarcoat anything and always brings blunt honesty to the table, along with unwavering loyalty and a great sense of humor to match.
Jacqueline Laurita
One of the original ladies of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, Jacqueline Laurita is a revered TV personality, mom, wife, philanthropist, and businesswoman. She is a long time Cosmetologist with a passion for all things related to beauty, having worked with a number of power players in the beauty industry. Her passion prompted her to create a beauty, wellness, and lifestyle blog called TheLookOver.com, which will soon be launching.
Jacqueline is also the co-author of two books, Get It! A Beauty, Style and Wellness Guide To Getting Your 'It' Together, available now and Defy Expectations, coming this fall and written with her husband, Chris, on their struggles and successes while raising a child on the Autism Spectrum, with secrets to keeping their marriage strong.
A mother to Ashlee, 25, CJ, 14 and Nicholas, 7, Jacqueline is a Warrior Mom and has been a celebrity ambassador to several non-profit Autism organizations, since Nicholas was diagnosed. She regularly travels the country as a sought-after public speaker raising Autism awareness. Her mission is not only to help her youngest son reach his full potential, but to also help as many families as she can along the way. Jacqueline also shares Autism resources and information on her website JacquelineLaurita.com.
Jacqueline has a witty sense of humor and always tries to see the good in people, but like the true Taurus she is, she can hold her own when challenged. Jacqueline does not take anything for granted and believes that true wealth is about love, family and genuine relationships.
Melissa Gorga
Melissa is a fun-loving and sassy Italian from New Jersey. She and her charismatic husband, Joe Gorga, have been married for 11 years and have three beautiful children -- Antonia, 10, Gino, 8, and Joey, 6.
Melissa defines what it is to be a modern housewife. Known for having an eye for style, she successfully launched a jewelry line for HSN called the Melissa Gorga Collection with multiple sell outs every time a new line is introduced. With her youngest off to school, Melissa is able to put her fashion and design know-how to use as she opens her first clothing boutique Envy by Melissa Gorga in Montclair, NJ.
This season Melissa is learning to balance family, friendships, and career, while doing it all with her own personal style.
Siggy Flicker
Siggy Flicker is a relationship expert, professional matchmaker, and TV personality whose professional opinion has been sought out by a variety of TV programs, syndicated radio shows, and publications throughout the country. Most recently, Siggy added author to her impressive resume with her first book, Write Your Own Fairytale: The New Rules of Dating and Relationships, and Finding Love on Your Own. What makes Siggy unique to the matchmaking game is that she truly practices what she preaches: Siggy wrote her own fairytale. She met and married Mark Flicker, and after eight years of marriage and two children, Siggy and Mark chose to get divorced with no lawyers, no bitter arguments, and no traumatized children – a divorce done right. Managing to remain friends, her first husband Mark stood up as best man to her new husband, Michael Campanella, when they were married. Now clients and friends ask for Siggy's help in not only finding love, but also in ending a marriage without collateral damage to family and peace of mind.
Teresa Giudice
Teresa Giudice is the ultimate Jersey Girl. The daughter of loving Italian parents, she grew up in Paterson, New Jersey, where she met Joe, her childhood sweetheart and husband of 16 years. Teresa devotes herself to her four beautiful daughters -- Gia, Gabriella, Milania, and Audriana.
A graduate of Berkeley College with a degree in Fashion Marketing and Management, Teresa is an inspirational working mom. Teresa has also been on The Real Housewives of New Jersey since its inception.
An established cook, Teresa took the publishing world by storm with her three New York Times-bestselling cookbooks, Skinny Italian, Fabulicious!, Fabulicious! Fast & Fit, as well as Fabulicious! On the Grill. She hit the New York Times bestseller list again with her latest book, her 2016 memoir, Turning the Tables: From Housewife to Inmate and Back Again.
In 2012, Teresa showcased her business savvy when she starred on NBC's hit show Celebrity Apprentice where she raised $70,000 for the charity, NephCure. Since staying fit is one of her priorities, she is working on becoming a certified yoga instructor.
As fans of the show have seen, Teresa has been through a lot, but continues to stay positive, focusing on raising her four daughters and living "la bella vita."
